It is also the date of GNOME.Asia 2014, which has been decided to be
held in Beijing. [1] Actually we are considering to have co-located
events as an option. That is, we might share partially the venue and
talk program. I think co-location can share resources, and make it
easier to let both events happen, although it might add coordination
cost.

We have FUDCon organizers who are in both local communities. According
to the message I got from GNOME side, they are OK with the co-location
idea. I want to hear the thoughts of Fedora people.

I would like a meeting, but sadly I won't be available this Saturday
because I will be taking TOEFL exam then. (So this week will be really
busy for me.) I will ask other organizers to attend the meeting.

I will find time to file a ticket with FAmSCo. How should I get in touch
with Robyn? Direct email or else?

Personally I do have some back up ideas that have not been dicussed with
other organizers. I think summer vacation (July or August) is OK, but it
might conflict with Flock, which date has not been decided though.
October is also OK (and the best season of Beijing). But no later to
avoid conflict with FUDCon LATAM.
